Rice University is consistently ranked as one of the best undergraduate teaching and research institutions in the country. Its small size (approximately 3,800 undergraduate and 2,700 graduate students) allows for a small student-to-faculty ratio. Selectivity, a love of learning, intellectual curiosity, and creativity are only some of the attributes Rice faculty and student share.
